One day later, in the conference room of the military headquarters in Puxi District, everyone had a report in front of them. After reading it, everyone's face was solemn.
In one night, all the supplies in warehouses 7 and 8 had disappeared without a trace! Not even a pair of underwear was left.
There was no problem with the security system, and there were no loopholes in the surveillance system. At that time, none of the personnel who were responsible for guarding the warehouse knew what was going on.
"Is it haunted!?"
The general sitting at the head of the conference table was about sixty years old. When the darkness fell, he was temporarily transferred from the north to take charge. Because he used to work in the military, many people were his subordinates, and some were even his trusted subordinates, so his prestige even surpassed that of commander Chen. At this time, his eyes swept across the generals and government officials coldly and said in a deep voice.
"Commander-in-chief, it's not haunted, there must be someone behind it." Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yao, who was sitting on the right side of the Commander-in-Chief, said lightly. He was an administrative official and an old rival of Song Zihuai. This matter originally had little to do with him as it was a matter of the military. But now that the supplies were gone, he was in big trouble. The whole city was begging for food with him.
If those mouths were all opened and lined up closely together, they could even eat a mountain.
"Deputy commander-in-chief Chen, who do you think it is?" The commander-in-chief shifted his gaze to commander Chen, and his voice slightly softened as if he was asking for his opinion.
Chen Zhidong's eyelids twitched as if he had just woken up. He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said a little embarrassedly, "let's listen to staff officer Zhu's opinion first."
A trace of gloominess flashed across the commander-in-chief's eyes, but he did not say anything. He still smiled at Chen Zhidong, and then looked at Zhu Xirui. His tone became serious, but there was an encouraging look on his face, "since deputy commander-in-chief Chen said so, staff officer Zhu, let's talk."
Zhu Xirui smiled bitterly in his mind. Since he clearly supported the commander-in-chief, Chen Zhidong had been keeping a distance from him, and he basically didn't say anything when it came to important matters. But now, he could only bite the bullet and say calmly, "other than Chu Yunsheng, there is no one else. The battle eight days ago is still vivid in my mind. He was able to take out so many things out of thin air, so I think he must have a way to hide the same things."
After he spoke, a representative of the Fire Race immediately nodded and said, "Yes, he can use our race's battle suit. Although I don't know how he did it, according to our intelligence, he can indeed activate the stealth function."
The deputy chief commander, Yao Yue, was a fat man with glasses. At this moment, he pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and interrupted, "Since that's the case, does that mean you have a way to detect it?"
The representative of the Fire Race said coldly, "We can try."
The meeting came to an end after a series of deployments.
However, the mysterious theft of the warehouses did not end because of the participation of the Fire Race.
On the second day, all the materials in the No. 3 warehouse disappeared. On the third day, the materials in the No. 11 warehouse disappeared. On the fifth day, the No. 13 warehouse was found to be "moved" halfway. After more than half of the security guards were injured or killed, they didn't even find a trace of the thief.
On the sixth day, the No. 5 food warehouse was robbed!
On the seventh day, the military couldn't sit still anymore, and the government also couldn't sit still anymore. Every day, the meeting was getting more and more intense. Only Chen Zhidong seemed to be sleeping.
"If the Protoss can't solve this problem, then they don't need to cross the river to attack us. They can just starve to death!" a lean government official on the side of the deputy chief commander, Yao Yue, said angrily.
In the past few days, as more and more warehouses were robbed, the supplies suddenly became unprecedentedly tight. Almost all the departments that came to beg for food almost tore him into pieces, so he was very emotional.
The representative of the Fire Race had already stopped talking. Their detection methods had basically failed, but he still looked at the lean government official coldly as if he was looking at a clown.
Facing the angry crowd, the representative of Duo Neng finally said, "according to our intelligence, Chu Yunsheng must have used a kind of high-tech rune technology, and its level may be much higher than before. At present, our most advanced equipment is only enough to protect the two largest warehouses from being stolen. As for the others …"
He said helplessly, "I can't think of a solution for the time being. I can only hope that you all strengthen the defense. People form a circle, layer by layer, and block all the gaps. Every place must be densely packed with people."
"If this is the case …" the deputy chief commander Yao paused for a second and said in a deep voice, "we can only hold on for half a month at most!"
He was the highest official in the administration and had the clearest understanding of the city's consumption of resources. He was also the most authoritative person. His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, immediately causing an uproar and chaos.
"Quiet!" The commander-in-chief slammed the table and said coldly, "in any case, please guard the last warehouse. As long as we can hold on for this month, new reinforcements from the Arctic base and the Protoss will come one after another. At that time, we will be able to eliminate this devil!"
…
On the eighth day, in Zhu Xirui's residence.
"Dad, I heard that the No. 9 warehouse has been robbed again?" Zhu Lingdie looked at her father who looked extremely tired and asked carefully.
Zhu Xirui pulled out his body from the sofa and said haggardly, "Lingdie, I want to send you and your mother to the Arctic base in two days."
Zhu Lingdie's body trembled and said in disbelief, "Dad, are you …?"
She had never seen her father so depressed before, and she couldn't help but feel frightened.
Zhu Xirui sighed and said, "when we used that missile, there was a serious disagreement in the army, and Duo Neng race controlled a lot of people. In the end, we still sent out that missile, and some people were discouraged. Not only the senior officials, but also the officers. Now that the warehouses have been robbed one after another, people are even more anxious. We have already lost half of the war."
Zhu Lingdie's beautiful brows frowned slightly, and she asked in confusion, "Duo Neng race is like this … Dad, why do you still support them?"
Zhu Xirui glanced at his daughter and said with a wry smile, "don't tell me you also think that it is because dad and Fang Yuehou don't get along? Even if your dad is so stingy, Fang Yuehou won't. He and I just have different ideas. Dad thinks that Chu Yunsheng is a demon, but he thinks that it is hope. We are just taking different paths, but our goals are not too different. "
Zhu Lingdie's expression changed, and she hesitated for a moment before saying hesitantly, "Dad, actually, I have always been wondering why you are so sure that Chu Yunsheng is a demon."
This question had been lingering in her heart for a long time, and it was also something that she had been thinking about for a long time.
Zhu Xirui looked at his beloved daughter, smiled slightly, and said slowly, "Master Yi Jing will not make baseless accusations. I know him very well, he must have seen something."
Zhu Lingdie did not give up and continued, "but what Master Yi Jing said may not be true, and he returned to Qi Mountain after the battle that day, and there has been no news from him until now. If Chu Yunsheng is really a demon, why doesn't he care? Isn't he willing to die to kill Chu Yunsheng? "
Zhu Xirui looked at his daughter with relief, took out a dozen forms from his briefcase, and handed them to her, "my daughter has really grown up. Indeed, with just a few words from Master Yi Jing, I will not be sure to believe it. Look at these forms, they are all the information of the people that Chu Yunsheng has gathered. Except for Song Zihuai and half of Fang Yuehou, how many" good people "are there? From the leader of the ghost cult, there are many people who have committed crimes, have mental problems, and are extremely vicious. I heard that he also recruited a lecherous guy in the city. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Maybe even Chu Yunsheng himself hasn't realized it yet. "
Zhu Lingdie quickly glanced at the forms a few times, but still insisted, "Dad, with just these, it is not enough to prove that he is a demon, right?"
Zhu Xirui frowned. He felt that his daughter was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. After a moment of silence, he said, "Master Yi Jing said that he was a person who should have died, but didn't die. He predicted that not only Chu Yunsheng's parents would die, but also before he was born, his mother had a child who died in her womb!"
Zhu Lingdie's hair suddenly stood up, and she said, "How, how could this be?"
Zhu Xirui shook his head and said, "at first, I didn't believe it either. After I arrived in Shanghai, I checked the detailed files and information of him and his family, and it was exactly the same as what Master Yi Jing said! But even so, I still didn't believe it. I also secretly visited Chu Yunsheng's aunt, and from her, I got confirmation that Chu Yunsheng's parents did have a child, but before the child was born, it suddenly died when it was eight months old. According to the custom of their hometown, they were worried that the dead baby would take away the next child, so even his parents didn't know where the unborn child was buried, and Chu Yunsheng also didn't know. According to his aunt, Chu Yunsheng's parents never told him about this. "
Zhu Lingdie was stunned, "they, they didn't tell Chu Yunsheng before they died?"
Zhu Xirui said with a strange look on his face, "they died a violent death, even if they wanted to tell him, how could it be too late?"
Zhu Lingdie took a deep breath, and said after a while, "then he is too miserable."
Zhu Xirui's expression was gloomy, "you don't understand, the world has made him miserable, he will make the world miserable in the future!"
Zhu Lingdie's heart was filled with fear, and she almost lost her mind.
Zhu Xirui patted her on the shoulder, stood up, and comforted her, "so dad would rather cooperate with Duo Neng race. Although they look down on human beings and despise life, they need us."
Then he smiled sadly, "this kind of pitiful need is the value of our existence, at least we can still survive."
Zhu Lingdie raised her head, looked at Zeng Rushan's father, and said with difficulty, "is there hope?"
Zhu Xirui smiled faintly, and no one knew where he came from, but he suddenly had a strong aura and pride, and said with sharp eyes, "of course there is! Lingdie, you have to remember, whether it is Duo Neng race, ice race, fire race, or other races, these self-proclaimed superior races can never escape the reality that they can only live on the earth in the form of human beings!
No matter how they ignore, suppress, despise us, or how they regard us as inferior life forms, they can't change this fact. Even Chu Yunsheng is a human being first and foremost.
Therefore, at least on this land, human beings are the most powerful beings! They are the real masters, and no one can change that! "

The second one was even more.
